I think this is the bike I would ride if I rode bikes. I like Ducatis and Buells too, but man this looks nice for the price.

Ya I went searching for this bike, as its the 4cyl, has full fairings unlike most of the K bikes, a more agressive stance so its the sportiest of the K100’s and still holds its own. agenst some moddern sport tourers. I love the handling, long distance riding is superb (cruise control, auto shut off blinkers, full luggage) and will still take a corner like a champ.(comes stock with steering dampiner, and its fuel injected for fast throtle response.)

BMW’s really go above and beyond.

And yeah ubengineering, unless they’re really thrashed pretty much any BMW bike will go 100k+ without major repairs.

It’d only be a true BMW though if you take it to the drag strip with bags full of clothes and beer.

I’ve been to rallies before where my Grandma emtpied one of her hard bags in her tent and filled the bag with ice to keep the beer cold. :tup:
